Efficacy Pilot Study of Triflusal in the Attenuation of Insulin Resistance in Human Obesity

June 22, 2006 updated by: J. Uriach and Company

Phase IIa Study of Triflusal in the Attenuation of Insulin Resistance in Men and Woman With Obesity

To explore the efficacy of triflusal in the attenuation of insulin resistance in human obesity. Triflusal is a salicylate compound approved in several countries as antithrombotic agent (antiplatelet). The hypothesis is to explore if there is a reduction of obesity-induced insulin resistance by triflusal.
